ขอบคุณครับ (khobkhunkhrab) ค = kh ร = r ั = a บ = b but the บ is pronounced with more of a p sound when used with khrab (sounds more like crap than crab)

@Paul *********

you can't buy it like gold, diamond etc, the new reserved elite visa is by invitation from elite visa only and it's limited to 100 people per year and you can only apply if you have been invited to apply by them.

Reserved elite membership and the original elite life-time membership can be transferred to another person one time for a cost. Not sure about the original but the reserve is 20%

Declan **********

Nope, only one extension per 30 day visa exemption.

Also สวัสดีครับ = sawadee khrab (pronouced as khrap) not sawadeecup. ครับ is used at the end of a sentence to be polite/ or to show acknowledge (when used by itself)

@Michael *********

generally, if you got the exemption stamp you will get the extension (unless you're from a country that cannot get the extension like Sri Lanka).

might know differently though as he volunteers at an immigration office in Phuket I believe.
